This is not a squid-only problem. You can find informations on how an upgrade is processed at http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html Briefly: 1 - A pre-inst script is executed (here squid is stopped) 2 - Old files are overwritten by files in new package (unpacking) 3 - A configuration script (post-inst) is executed (here squid is restarted) During a dist-upgrade all packages are unpacked and then all packages are configured. So squid, as many other daemons, is stopped until all other packages are unpacked. Other daemons that behave this way (this list is from one of my system, so is not complete in any way): - apache - klogd - postgresql - sysklogd - atd - famd - postfix Regards, -- Luigi Gangitano -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG: 1024D/924C0C26: 12F8 9C03 89D3 DB4A 9972 C24A F19B A618 924C 0C26
